Yeah he stopped, I had to tell him to though. Didnt have a clue and got defensive. I literally had to explain how he'd boxed me in. I'm starting to reevaluate if I should even get back in the saddle as the biggest danger these days is clueless riders. Every day someone pulls some dangerous shit, it's infuriating.
@Double_J was a lovely machine, I'm pretty certain it's a write off, devastatingly I've not had it long at all, built it up about six weeks ago.
I've called around local frame repair places and no one fixes forks. Headtube is suspect too. Ugh.

What direction are the forks bent in? If it's a sideways kink they can be adjusted. I've done this with my own forks. Cold-setting is something that all steel frames go through as final adjustments whilst being built. Paint stress marks doesn't necessarily mean the steel is ruined. Steel can flex much more than paint.

That's shitty luck.
I had a proper go at some guy passing me really close the other day. Like a PROPER go. Pulled out the C Bomb and everything. He was being all affable and reasonable and I was just like that's no reason to not keep telling this posh twat to FUCK RIGHT OFF AND GIVE ME ROOM. I was riding back from the track and taking it very easy, pair of wheels on my back I think, passing parked cars, and this twonk thinks it's OK to pass me really bloody close at hardly any faster a speed.
Did the person who was doing the shitty pass even stop?
